Changes to Docker Hub Autobuilds

As many of you are aware, it has been a difficult period for companies offering free cloud compute [1]. Unfortunately, Docker’s Autobuild service has been targeted by the same bad actors, so today we are disappointed to announce that we will be discontinuing Autobuilds on the free tier starting from June 18, 2021. 

In the last few months we have seen a massive growth in the number of bad actors who are taking advantage of this service with the goal of abusing it for crypto mining. For the last 7 years we have been proud to offer our Autobuild service to all our users as the simplest way to set up CI for containerized projects. As well as the increased cost of running the service, this type of abuse periodically impacts performance for paying Autobuild users and induces many sleepless nights for our team

In April we saw the number of build hours spike 2X our usual load and by the end of the month we had already deactivated ~10,000 accounts due to mining abuse The following week we had another ~2200 miners spin up.

As a result of this we have made the hard choice to remove Autobuilds from our free plan as a mitigation for this abuse. While making these changes is never an easy choice, we’ve also continued to focus on making meaningful improvements to the performance of Autobuilds, including:

Increasing the number of parallel builds to 5 for Pro and 15 for Team.Increase the build instance types, so you get a beefier machine to build on!Changed Autobuild to take advantage of BuildKit by default for improved build performance.

All of these improvements should see a faster and more stable build experience with lower queue times. If that sounds good and you are a free user who <3’s their Autobuilds, we are offering 20% off Docker Pro and Team for new and returning subscriptions through June 18, 2021 so you can continue using that Autobuild goodness.

If you’re part of the Docker Open Source program, and currently leveraging Autobuilds as part of a Free plan, we want to continue supporting you and we will be reaching out to make sure you will not be impacted by this change.   

We really appreciate your support and the community’s understanding as the whole industry battles against these abusive few. We want to keep providing awesome and magical services and hope we can find a better solution with everyone going forward.

Our journey from office-centric to remote-first

Docker Inc. started like many startups with engineers working from a single location. For us, this was in the Bay Area in the US. We were very office-centric, so the natural way to increase diversity and to get engineers from different cultures to work together was to open new offices in diverse locations. Right from the start, our goal was to mix American and European ways of producing software, giving us the best of both cultures.

Step 1 – Opening European offices

In 2015, Docker started to open offices in Europe, starting with Cambridge in the United Kingdom and followed by Paris in France. With these two locations, the long road to gaining experience working with remote employees began.

Having multiple offices scattered around the world is different from being fully remote. But you still start experiencing some of the challenges of not having everybody in the same location simultaneously. We spent a great deal of our time on planes or trains visiting each other.

Despite the robust open-source culture of the company, which shows that you can build great software while not having everybody in the same room, we still had a very office-centric culture. A lot of the context of a given product conversation or decision was linked to a given office. When you were not in the office where the decision was made, you only had partial information about the decision.

We learned a lot during this time: organizing work effectively and enjoyably while appreciating different cultures, time zones (France and US West Coast are 9 hours apart…), paperwork, salary expectations, public holidays, etc. 

Step 2 – Remote Engineers in an office-centric culture

The products Docker builds have a significant impact on the world, so hiring great engineers has never been a problem at Docker. We were artificially limiting ourselves to hiring talent close to one of our offices. We could open more offices or start hiring people as fully remote wherever they lived. In 2017, we hired a couple of very experienced remote engineers who had 5+ years of experience working remotely. They brought a lot of their best practices, and with them, the company learned how to be better at working with remote engineers. 

One of the areas we made changes was in how we ran meetings. Instead of only having remote employees dial in and struggling to follow conversations in conference rooms, we got everyone, even those in offices, to dial in with a good headset so that everyone was on the same level. This drastically improves the quality of meetings for those who are remote. 

We also learned the power of good writing as time zones forced communication to be more asynchronous. Concise, clear, and effective, writing became critical. 

We worked hard on our company core values, one of them is “Open Collaboration”. Following that value, we started to close 1600+ slack channels to concentrate our communication around just a few dozen. We advocated for communication to happen in public slack channels by default and limiting the usage of private channels to only when necessary.

Remote engineers felt better, but there was still a life in the office they couldn’t grasp, this is when we introduced Wormholes. Wormholes are pretty low-tech, they are a monitor, a camera, and speakers open in the offices all day. Remote engineers connect to it, have a view of the offices, and can feel the ambiance and hear general conversations. They can also slack someone to come close to the wormhole for “direct” communication. They were pretty popular until we left our offices to start working from home.

Step 3 – Remote work during a worldwide pandemic

In early 2020, once we were pretty experienced at remote working, we advocated for all positions to be open in any country that we had legal entities, making it easier for us to hire good talent.

Then Covid hit us along with everyone else. Relatively confident in our experience of working remotely, we thought that we were more ready than others to have everyone working at home. We quickly realized that working remotely and working remotely through a pandemic are not the same at all. 

While we had the software and culture to embrace a remote-first workforce, the pandemic itself brought new challenges. Not being able to see each other in the office or family and relatives for such a long time has taken a toll on everybody. This also highlighted inequality that we didn’t realize before: people with small apartments, young kids, or living alone were hit harder than those living with relatives and enjoying a large house.

These hard-learned lessons fueled the way we shape the future of work at Docker. Giving employees help to set up their home office, helping them move from one city to another, and generally spending enough time and energy making sure everybody is comfortable as we transition to this exciting new future of work.

Step 4 – Embracing remote-first

While other companies are pushing their employees to get back to offices, we decided that there is no turning back for Docker Inc. and that we will stay remote-first. All of our offices are closed and will remain so. When Covid releases its pressure on the world, we will offer employees who live near to each other support to meet up and continue to collaborate and drive our culture, while we will look for chances to do this as a whole company both remote and in-person as things return to normal in the future. 

Our journey from office-centric to remote-first has been exciting, and we’re eager to get even better at being remote-first. 

We are now in a position to hire almost wherever you are, so if you’re interested in living this experience with us while producing impactful software, we have positions open in Engineering and Product.

DockerCon Live 2021: A Look Back at What’s New

Nearly 80,000 participants registered for DockerCon Live 2021! There were fantastic keynotes, compelling sessions, thousands of interactions and everything in-between that a developer and development teams need to help solve their day-to-day application development challenges.

In all that excitement, you might have missed the new innovations that Docker announced to make it easier for developers to build, share and run your applications from code to cloud. These enhancements are a result of Docker’s continued investment and commitment to make sure developers have the best experience possible while making app development more efficient and secure.

Application security is directly tied to the software supply chain. Developers are realizing the importance of integrating security as early as possible in the development process. They  must now consider the security directives of their organization and associated compliance rules while also enabling their teams to work in the most secure, efficient way possible.

These new product enhancements bolster security in a number of dimensions including scanning for vulnerabilities during different development stages and increasing team security by offering tools such as audit logs and scoped access tokens.  

Take a look at what we announced:

Verified Publisher ProgramDocker launched the Docker Verified Publisher program to provide access to Docker differentiated and trusted content that developers can leverage as reliable building blocks for their applications. The Docker Verified Publisher offerings include popular developer components such as Bitnami and Spring software from VMWare, RedHat Universal Base Images (UBI), Canonical Ubuntu and more.

Docker Dev EnvironmentsDocker Development Environments form the foundation of Docker’s new collaborative team development experience. It empowers teams to work better together to create novel, new value for customers by spending less time setting up and debugging environments, bringing the ease of use and reproducibility of containers to an interactive development environment. Developers can now easily share more than just their code, taking the dependencies and wider application context and sharing this with a teammate as simply as doing a docker push. Docker Development Environments will be available this summer. 

Docker Compose v2Docker continues investing in Docker Compose, a developer favorite tool for running multiple container applications. Version 2 incorporates the docker compose command into the Docker CLI. Compose now supports GPU configuration for Windows and Linux as well as Compose Service Profiles. Compose Service profiles can help your team to run different sets of services associated with a profile when you’re debugging vs testing vs developing, while managing all of that configuration in one docker-compose.yml. Docker Compose v2 is currently available in Docker Desktop and will be included in the Docker Linux packages later in the year by default.

Scoped Access TokensWith access to software supply chains becoming a higher security concern, Docker is updating Personal Access Tokens (PATs), to support fine-grained permissioning.  The new Docker token permissions, which are scheduled to release later this summer, include the options to define access that is read only, or read and write or read public repos only. This security feature provides developers and their managers with tighter control over which teams, and which automated application delivery pipelines have access to their code.Learn more in our press release.

Advanced Image ManagementDocker’s Advanced Image Management Dashboard available on Docker Hub for Docker Pro and Team users provides developers with a new level of access and fine grained control for all of the content stored in Docker Hub. Developers can now remove old content and explore older versions of pushed images. 

Vulnerability Scanning Docker also launched vulnerability scanning options as part of Docker Hub and Docker Desktop in conjunction with our partner Snyk to include security testing options along multiple points of the developer inner loop. Docker is also bringing ‘docker scan’ to the Docker CLI on LINUX with the same seamless CLI experience that developers are familiar with. Read more about the Snyk partnership.

Audit LogsAudit logs provide owners of Docker Team accounts a report of all their team member activities.  Team leaders can view and track any changes that are made, that date that a change was made and who initiated the change.  

Docker Desktop on Apple SiliconDocker recently announced support for Docker Desktop on the Apple M1 continuing to support developers in our community with their choice of local development environments. Learn more  

Compose Service ProfilesCompose Service profiles help development teams to run different sets of services associated with a profile when debugging, testing or developing while managing all of that configuration in one docker-compose.yml. 

Docker Desktop UpdatesUpdates to Docker Desktop include integration of Compose, Compose Service profiles and BuildX.  BuildX is Docker’s next-gen build command and enables developers to do multi-architecture builds, share those builds with dev teams and the community on DockerHub, speed up build processes with remote caches and so much more.
